TR Recalls ProTaper Clamp Kits

TR says some of the bolts included in the clamp kits (or sold separately) if installed incorrectly can break under extreme force such as a crash. This can cause the handlebars to separate posing a risk of serious injury to the rider. There have been seven reports of bolts breaking. No injuries have been reported.

Manufactured in Taiwan, the parts were sold at dealerships nationwide from October 2007 through March 2008 and ranged in price from $5 for the Replacement Bolt Kit to $440 for the Complete Triple Clamp Kit.
